Have Money, Have Rink

In Ottawa, the Senators play at Canadian Tire Centre, formerly Scotiabank Place, formerly the Corel Centre, formerly the Palladium.

It’s out of control. Just get someone with tons of money to back the rink for a lifetime and be done with it. Like Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus.

“Flames are at home Wednesday at the old Miley Cyrus to host the visiting Habs, led by the NHL’s second star of the week, Lars Eller, who totalled five points in two games. Meanwhile in Kanata, the Senators held a light skate at the Bieb before heading to the airport to battle the Kings at the Kardashian in L.A.”

“On tonight’s agenda, the Devils are at the P. Diddy in Edmonton while the Panthers takes on new Philly coach Craig Berube and his Flyers at the Jay-Z, which should really be rappin’ tonight. The Habs don’t return to the Kane until ten days from now and insiders say league officials are concerned that Mr. Kane will have died of old age by then and are looking at Paul McCartney for a new name possibility.”

Max Pacioretty has a sore wrist but is with the team for the Western jaunt. My son lives just up the hill from the Miley Cyrus if Max remains on the shelf and would like to play some cribbage while in Cowtown.

Can someone help me? Because I’m really trying to understand the sudden or rather progressive hate on DD. Putting all culture aside, because my confusion is not about that, I don’t really understand why fans are jumping his bones after three games. Has he been invisible this far, well kinda yeah with the exception of a few plays (can’t remember if it was against TO or Phi) and does his short reach aggravate others as much as it does me? (would a longer stick be illegal??). I have no problem with his size because others his size (Gallagher for e.g., or maybe he’s a bit taller) can really crash the net and take abuse and score. But all in all, it’s early so I’m having a hard time with the pressure we may be putting on him. However, what bothers me is this:

Marjo, I think he should be cut some slack too. It’s every day on the radio and online, how he’s so terrible. It’s too early. What if he catches fire? How will everyone backtrack then? Thanks for this. Good comment.
